Magneton Telenovela 5124 – Rosewood
This Magneton's Telenovela is a tribute to the George Harrison Rosewood Tele from Fender and it's different, but magnificient at the same time. As with all of our string creations, we try to capture the essence, the character of a particular instrument and translate it to today's reality while improving on key things.
Our Rosewood Tele is an ultra-lightweight thinline is composed of an indian rosewood (top) and a honduras mahogany (body), with a solid rosewood neck – of course. Nocaster '51 pickups from the Fender Custom Shop transmit the string vibrations into excellent sounds, the hardware is the best available today, fully intonated, the tuners lock in and are staggered, and so on.
What we can say with pride: This Telenovela plays as great as any other of our guitars, but it definitely sounds different, the rosewood gives the sound a warmth and depth that is unrivaled and cannot be achieved with instruments made from other wood combinations. You won't get much closer to the sound of George's Tele!
